Generation Next (programming block)

BBC Generation Next was a week-long special running primarily on the BBC World Service but also on BBC Television aimed at understanding and exploring how under-18s view the world. The series ran from 2 to 10 December 2006, and broadcasters Darryl Morris and Kate Tozer presented the week long event, linking the shows and events together after being head hunted to do so by the BBC. Robin Lustig hosted a key five-part documentary for Generation Next on the World Service.
As part of the series, the BBC also ran School Day 24, which linked up teenagers from schools across a divide (like in Kosovska Mitrovica between Serbs and Albanians or between rural, semi-urban and urban school students in the People's Republic of China) and The Next Big Thing, a competition to find the best teen band in the world.
